The main adaptation - is the fact that snakes don't have a solid jaw (like most animals). The bottom jaw is split in two at the front - connected by strong muscles. The top jaw is split into six pieces - again connect by strong muscles. The snake can control the muscles individually, enabling it to stretch its jaw wider than the circumference of its skull.
This enables the snake to swallow prey that is much larger than it head.
